The event was part of the library’s three-day Vietnam War Summit. Yarrow, who used to perform with folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, was part of the huge 1969 moratorium rally in Washington, D.C. against the Vietnam War. He participated in a panel discussion at the LBJ Library with singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald, a Navy veteran, who wrote one of the most memorable Vietnam War protest songs, "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag," for his band, Country Joe and the Fish. The two discussed how the music of the 1960s and 1970s helped to comfort U.S. troops in Vietnam while fueling the anti-war movement at home. The music discussion was moderated by Bob Santelli, executive director of the GRAMMY Museum. LBJ Library photo by Marsha Miller 04/28/2016.
